In a step-wise synthesis of degarelix comprising 0.3% by weight or less of 4-([2-(5-hydantoyl)]acetylamino)-phenylalanine analog on (solid support)-NH2 a step comprises providing a solution of an amino acid or peptide of which the α-amino group is protected by Fmoc; contacting the support with the solution in the presence of reagent for forming a peptide bond between a carboxyl group of the amino acid or peptide and (solid support)-NH2; removing Fmoc by contacting the support with an organic base, in particular piperidine, in an organic solvent. Also disclosed is degarelix of high purity prepared by the method of the invention and the use of Fmoc in the synthesis of degarelix.

The invention discloses a solid-phase synthesis method of degarelix. The solid-phase synthesis method of degarelix comprises the following steps: on the basis of taking Fmoc-amino resin as a solid-phase carrier, replacing orotic acid fragments connected with an alanine benzene ring in the fifth site and an amino in the fourth site with ivdde, and performing sequential condensation reaction from the end C to the end N so as to connect 10 protected amino acids, thereby obtaining a full-protective peptide resin; then removing the Fmoc protecting group of end N D-Nal, acetylating by using acetic anhydride and pyridine, replacing ivDde with Hor, cutting the peptide resin by using a splitting agent, and precipitating by using frozen diethyl ether to obtain crude peptide. Besides, the invention also relates to a method for synthesizing a raw material Fmoc-Aph(ivDde)-OH by use of ivDde-OH and Fmoc-Aph-OH. The solid-phase synthesis method of degarelix has the advantages that the ivDde is introduced to synthesize decapeptide firstly and then the Hor is used as a substitute to avoid a rearrangement side reaction; the solid-phase synthesis method is simple in process steps, easy to control, low in influence on a human body and the environment, high in yield, and suitable for large-scale production.

The present invention relates to a liquid (or solution)-phase manufacturing process for preparing the decapeptide Degarelix, its protected precursor, and other useful intermediates. The invention further relates to polypeptides useful in the solution-phase manufacturing process and to the purification of Degarelix itself. Degarelix can be obtained by subjecting a Degarelix precursor according to formula II: (P1)AA1-AA2-AA3-AA4(P4)-AA5-AA6(P6)-AA7-AA8(P8)-AA9-AA10-NH2 (II) or a salt or solvate thereof, to a treatment with a cleaving agent in an organic solvent, wherein P1 is an amino protecting groups; preferably acetyl; P4 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl protecting group, preferably a hydroxyl protecting group; P6 is hydrogen or an amino protecting groups; preferably an amino protecting groups; and P8 is an amino protecting group.

The use of degarelix in the treatment of endometriosis, in particular in the treatment of endometriotic ovarian cysts and recurrent endometriotic lesions following surgery and in the treatment of endometriosis and / or endometriotic ovarian cysts in patients who plan to undergo assisted reproduction, is described, wherein this treatment is performed before the patients are subjected to assisted reproduction; degarelix is administered for this purpose as a single dose of 80-120 mg, preferably 80 mg, subcutaneously.
